"Yes. But the whole proclaiming the King a living god has died with the new age" Serena said. Liz sighed. She knew she would have to tell the others about Tess.
"I need to tell everyone something. Tess was in the other dimension. She must have used to Granolith to try to kill Alex-and me in the other dimension. She tried to kill me by shooting this black beam of energy at me. But I used the Phoenix bracelet to protect myself." "She had me tied up and was slapping me. She wanted to know where Nefertiri was.Of course I wouldn't tell her. She was losing patience when Liz broke through the window. She also had two glowing aliens goons out looking for Liz."Alex continued.
"Yea, they ran off once they saw me about to use the Phoenix bracelet." Liz added.
"She must have used the Granolith. Did she disappear?" Serena mused. Liz nodded.
"Then she and Kivar will be here in two to three months, depending on what ship they used and how fast the lightspeed engine is"Serena calculated.
"And Liz is the one who's going to save Earth. What about the aliens?" Kyle asked.
"Yea, aren't we strong enough to defeat them?" Michael asked. "In a way, yes. But you lost the Granolith.That was a mistake, Max. It enhances your powers. Wait!" Serena thought of something. "What is it?" Isabel asked. "Do you have the Crystal of Hathor?" Serena asked. There was a collective huh? Serena sighed. " It activates the Granolith. On Antar, it is called the Crystal of Ishma-their goddess of love. Hathor is the closest translation. If you had that, you could make a connection with each other and use the Crystal of Ishma to secretly channel the Granolith's powers. Between that, the Phoenix Bracelet, and your strong connection, you are unstopable. I will look for the Crystal and help you train." "Okay."Max said. "Horus do you have the Nile bracelets?" "No. What's that?" Alex asked, puzzled. "You, Sphinx and Kyleth had them. They are powerful but not as powerful as the Phoenix bracelet. If we had that...." Serena trailed off as the air began to shimmer and take form.
It was Claudia. "Grandma!"Liz cried. "Hello my dears. As I have told Liz, I will appear occasionly to help and guide you. The Nile bracelets are at my house."she smiled.
"Oh no. We gotta go all the way back there?" Ava groaned. Claudia smiled. "No. I shall get them" Claudia disappeared for a moment. She reappeared holding three bracelets and a multi colored crystal. "The Sacred Crystal of Ishma" Serena breathed. Claudia gave the crystal to Serena who nodded her thanks. Then Claudia handed Alex, Kyle and Maria three silver bracelets with a picture of the Nile engraved with an green gemstone on the middle. "There you go. I have faith in you. The eight-or should I say nine" Claudia smiled at Serena "-will save the Earth. Never lose heart. Lizzie, Alex, Maria-I love you. I'm very proud of everyone here. You will bring peace to the Universe. You were never ordinary, all of you were special" Claudia paused, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Your bond is pure. Trust one another, talk to one another. I am always watching over you"
With that, Claudia shimmered once more and vanished. Liz and Maria were crying.Alex and Kyle placed a brotherly hand around them. "Let's go to the Pod Chamber. Your training begins" Serena said.
